Tungurahua volcano, located in the central area of the Ecuadorian Sierra, is erupting intermittently since 1999 alternating between periods of quiescence and explosive activity. Volcanic ash has been the most frequent and widespread hazard provoking air contamination episodes and impacts on human health, animals and crops in the surrounding area. After

Branched Conduit Structure Beneath the Active Craters of Sakurajima Volcano Inferred From Muography
Abstract Observing in‐conduit physical mechanism underlying the switching of eruptive activity between the craters of multi‐vent volcanoes could contribute to hazard assessment at these complex volcanic edifices. We performed monitoring of mass density changes beneath two active craters of Sakurajima volcano in Kyushu, Japan between September 2018 and ...

Application of the Monopole Source to Quantify Explosive Flux During Vulcanian Explosions at Sakurajima Volcano (Japan) [PDF]
A primary goal in volcano seismology is to characterize source motions internal to a volcano in terms of their representative forces. In a similar manner, much volcano infrasound research strives to recover eruptive force time histories corresponding to ...

Time‐Resolved Trigger Processes Leading to the Plinian Eruptions at Sakurajima Volcano, Japan
Abstract Mafic magma recharge of crustal reservoirs and subsequent magma mixing has been considered a direct trigger of volcanic eruptions. However, although recharge frequently occurs in many active volcanoes, it rarely leads to an eruption immediately, making its role as a trigger ambiguous.

Coupled subdaily and multiweek cycles during the lava dome erupt of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat [PDF]
Observations of volcanoes extruding andesitic lava to produce lava domes often reveal cyclic behaviour. At Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, cycles with sub-daily and multi-week periods have been recognised on many occasions.

Abstract The 1999 basaltic eruption of Shishaldin volcano (Alaska) displayed a transition between Subplinian and Strombolian activity. Strombolian bubbles indicate the presence of a periodically unstable foam at the top of magma reservoir. In contrast, a long foam, whose rupture led to the eruptive column, was also able to collect in the conduit ...

Experimental Evidence of Primary Permeability at Very Low Gas Content in Crystal‐Rich Silicic Magma
Abstract Eruptive dynamics is influenced by gas escape from the ascending magma. Gas pathways form in the magma via bubble coalescence, leading to gas channeling. Magmatic crystals play a key role in gas channel formation. This work constrains experimentally decompression‐induced coalescence in high‐crystallinity silicic magmas without external ...

Dipole Source to Model Ground Deformation Due To Magma Migration
Abstract Although magma migration is a necessary condition for the occurrence of a volcanic eruption, static analytical models for ground deformations consider stationary sources that undergo a change only in forces acting in the Earth's interior, such as changes in pressure or volume in a geometrically defined body.

An analytical model for gas overpressure in slug-driven explosions:insights into Strombolian volcanic eruptions [PDF]
Strombolian eruptions, common at basaltic volcanoes, are mildly explosive events that are driven by a large bubble of magmatic gas (a slug) rising up the conduit and bursting at the surface.
